Mutual dependence of brassinosteroid homeostasis and plasmodesmata permeability.

ABSTRACT

Brassinosteroids (BRs) are exceptional phytohormones they do not undergo a long-distance transport between plant organs. However, the mechanism of short-distance (intercellular) transport of BRs remains poorly understood. Recently, Wang et al. provided a novel insight into the mutual dependence of BR homeostasis, their intercellular transport, and plasmodesmata permeability.
